Here is a bracket I made out of 1/8th plate. I used u bolts to mount it so that I would have to drill into that cross member. I designed it in a way that you can leave everything loose and adjust it to fit perfectly where you need it to go. I could CAD up a template if anyone is interested.

 

I made this using a hack sa and a hand drill. If you had some better power tools you could definitely clean it up.

A double row works well behind the Denali grill. Here's my 30" curved Totron:                 The LED's are 1" appart and the rows of holes in the grill just happen to be 1" ap

The correct term is "illegal commodities broker" thank you!   I actually work for an oil company, which is similar because both businesses provide highly desired products at artificially inflated

It says it mounts 4 9 inch bars. I'd like to know the actual measurements on the mounting locations. It would be nice to fit a 40 on there

Where does the light bar mount to? Both the bar itself and also the led bar. This is the exact setup I want to run

Not 100% sure what you are asking but the light bar is mounted into the cradle like the one below:

42090_20in_sr-series_cradle_mount-1_med_

That Cradle is mounted to the N-Fab Mount that was mentioned a few posts up. It looks as if its mounted to the 2 outer mounts. The N-Fab mount looks to be bolted to where the tow hooks are. I'm guessing its sandwiched in there or just on the side.

Where are you guys running the wires back through the firewall? Is there a certain spot to run your switch through into the cab? thanks for the help

you can go through a few different places. The ones I use are the boots used for the door harnesses (the big black boot that you find on the forward end of the door jam) ; also the rubber gasket under the driver side footwell carpet, you can make a slice into the rubber with a boxcutter or other knife and slide the wire through, it'll seal itself; I have also drilled a hole into a plastic cap under the passenger side footwell carpet to run wires into the cab there. All are great locations. Personally I use the 2 spots under the carpet more because you'll never see the wires unless you get under the truck.

Does anybody have a drawing or detailed picture of their mount behind the grille. I'm going to be doing this very soon

Well I finally got all the parts to wire my new switch from Ottawa. I got all wired up!

Realized I got the wrong switch on which one is supped to be on when the bar is off and when the bar is on. I was supposed to get the upper half as the independent

I had to make a jumper wire to power up the bottom half. Hopefully I can get it mounted up this week. I'm still trying to figure out how I want to mount it since I don't want to drill into my radiator support. I saw a guy on this fourm that used c clamps and I think I'm going that route

Well I was going try to put my switch to the left of the steering wheel when I came to a problem.

 

post-142840-0-83506200-1446852807_thumb.jpeg

There a metal frame where I want to mount it. Then I seen another problem!!

post-142840-0-02849100-1446852896_thumb.jpeg

 

So if I wanted to drill in the panel the only spot where I won't have interference is right below the steering column. I don't know if I want it there but I am running out of options. What do you guys think? Right below the steering column or some where else?

I scanned just about every thread and forum and anything else I could find when doing research for my install, but I can't say I've ever seen someone install 2x dual row light bars behind the grill. Not saying it can't be done, but I personally haven't seen it. I did see on another forum of a NNBS silverado with 2x single row light bars behind the grill. Might be able to find a pic if your interested, but that probably doesn't help.

Well 2 didn't fit without removing material. So just went with the 1. 0baffc988d09358f198fc28f45aa4bdb.jpg

 

Anyone want to buy a LED BAR [emoji16]

      PF63 Oil Filters Going Away?

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Missing pieces of the Assembly   Detergency vs Solvency   Not the same thing. Detergency is the mechanism that surrounds solid particulates preventing amalgamation. Usually accompanied by a Dispersant whose job it is to keep those encapsulated particles in Suspension. Solvency keeps things that can be dissolved in solution.    Salt is a solid that can be dissolved. Pepper is a solid that cannot be dissolved. A detergent/dispersant is effective on pepper but a solvent is more effective on salt. As long as the solids remain in either state, dissolved or dispersed then they can be be removed with the oil upon change.    How many wranglers does it take to herd cats? Depends on how many cats your herding. How much sponge does it take to soak up water? How much water is there to soak up? Point is most oil blends start with some herding ability and next to zero sponge and recently even fewer wranglers are being sent to do the same job.    So you start with a dozen cowboys and zero cows but at the drive progresses you pick up cows along the way, but not cowboys. At some point you have more cows that the wranglers can handle and some leave the herd. Deposits. And the API has an acceptable number of cows they are willing to let loose. In the ideal world zero is the right number for he rancher but to the butcher....a few lost is fine. This cow is beat to death. Let's move on....   Solvency isn't something oils on the Walmart shelf care about AT ALL. Problem is, you motor does. Fuels driven varnish sticks rings and only a solvent can keep them in check. The bet is that the solids driven portion that plug the expander rings and the oil drain backs and VVT screens and AFM screens will be an issue long before varnish is. Not that it wont be but if they market well enough the consumer can be kept ignorant enough to either believe it is "normal" (A quart in 1 or 2K is normal) OR is kept at bay longer than the first owner is likely to hang on to the unit. Solvency cost money.    Now the OEM's have John Q. Public buffaloed into the belief that the number cows accumulated along the trail is a known and predictable CONSTANT. It isn't. Nor is the rate at which they crossed paths with them. Only the number of wrangles is constant. Or was. Each new generation of oil sees fewer and fewer of them.    So what happens when the number of cowboys is lower (lower TBN) with each seasons trail but the trial is longer (OCI) and the number of cows along that trail continues increase? (Conditions that promote deposits).    For awhile the blenders were on to something. Better bases are harder to degrade (fewer cows) but that was overtaken by a longer trail (OCI) and improved breeding (More cows) while continuing to reduce the cowboy staffing levels (TBN/Aniline #).    Marketing has been successful. We've fired most of the staff, cows breed line bunnies, the trail is ten times longer and we've convinced the boss his ranch is in better shape that it ever was.    That kids is just the cleaning side. The side few pay attention to.
